I figured it was OK to post this in News because the last 3 Torre articles were posted there and haven’t been moved. :)

Another floating rumor is that A-Rod will follow.

The Dodgers haven’t had a real manager since Lasorda. I for one can’t wait to see if he can bring out the best in these players and build a team. He definitely didn’t inherit the same talent as he did in NY. Being a lifelong Dodger fan, I am excited to see this news.

well i would like to see him ruin a national league team for once. in my opinion he’ll end up in the other LA team, or maybe fill the void that * left.

agreed to a three-year contract for an estimated $14.5 million. I thought Five million plus for one year from the Yankees was an insult in Torre's mind?
Money talks and BS walks.

Dodgers had only 2 managers from 1954-96.
Was any other team even close?
They’re on their 6th manager since 1996 though.
